Your top 5 Mike Leigh films

[WaterGarden]

I don't think I've seen all of them so shouldn't really answer but of the ones I've seen my favourites have been
Another Year
Nuts in May
Vera Drake
Secrets and Lies
Abigail's Party

Try life is sweet it's fab !

I did see it years ago and have recently ordered a second hand copy from Amazon funnily enough

Naked
Nuts In May
Abigail’s Party
Life Is Sweet
Vera Drake

Secrets and Lies
Vera Drake
Happy-Go-Lucky
High Hopes
Abigail's Party

Not sure about the other 4 but Meantime is brilliant and very of its time. It has Gary Oldman and Tim Roth in it.

I enjoyed Life is Sweet and love
Another year and also
Secrets and Lies

i really want to see them again

I loved the house and garden in Another Year. So homely with all the knick knacks. I thought the son was lucky to have such lovely parents!

Is Daniel Blake a ML film?

Agree that Nuts in May and Abigail's Party are absolute classics.

Secrets and Lies
Another Year
High Hopes
Abigail's Party

Naked and Life is Sweet - not so much

Secrets and Lies is the stand out winner for me.
Are any of them available online?

nothing on netflix

Nuts in May I watched as a teenager when it was first broadcast - I haven't watched t since but loved it at the time

Daniel Blake is Ken Loach

Ah! Thanks @CriticalWoman.

I think some of these films may be on Prime.

I'll check out Prime, Absolutely.
Mike Leigh also did Mr Turner - very different to his previous films, and very good.

Yes Mr Turner was excellent.

Secrets & Lies
Another Year
Happy-Go-Lucky
Vera Drake
Career Girls

I’m surprised there’s no mention of that last one. Poor Katrin Cartlidge, such a tragedy she died so young.
